Eco-communities as a social vision

Eco-communities as a social vision
Egalitarian and ecological communities, like the pictured East Wind (www.eastwind.org), are very close to our vision of an ecological society

“I Need To Wake Up” by Melissa Etheridge (2007)


Have I been sleeping?
I've been so still
Afraid of crumbling
Have I been careless?

Dismissing all the distant rumblings
Take me where I am supposed to be
To comprehend the things that I can't see
Cause I need to move

I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

And as a child
I danced like it was 1999
My dreams were wild
The promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth
That I need to move

I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up

Now I am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone
And I need to move

I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

I want to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Oh, Something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now


This song has been written for the famous Al Gore’s documentary film about Global warming “An Inconvenient Truth”. It’s a call for self-obligation to take personal responsibility for fighting climate change.

This won't succeed in actual fact, that is what I believe.

This can't succeed as a matter of fact, that is exactly what I believe.
